Billions of electronic-eating 'crazy rasberry ants' invade Texas

Billions of electronic-eating 'crazy rasberry ants' invade Texas: "It sounds like the plot of a farfetched science fiction movie. Unfortunately for the residents of Texas, it is very much a reality: billions of tiny reddish-brown ants have arrived onshore from a cargo ship and are hell-bent on eating anything electronic."

Sounds too good to be true: unstoppable electronics devouring ants sweeping across the USA -- but a google on paratrenicha.species.near.pubens shows it's a very real and present blessing or danger, depending how you feel about such things.
